WARNING—High Energy and High Voltage
Exercise caution when using and calibrating a power supply. High energy levels 
can be stored at the output voltage terminals on a power supply in normal 
operation. In addition, potentially lethal voltages exist in the power circuit and on 
the output and sense connectors of a power supply with a rated output greater 
than 40 V. Filter capacitors store potentially dangerous energy for some time after 
power is removed.
!
CAUTION
Operate the power supply in an environment free of flammable gases or fumes. 
To ensure that the power supply’s safety features are not compromised, use the 
power supply as specified in this manual and do not substitute parts or make any 
unauthorized modifications. Contact the service technician for service and repair 
help. Repairs must be made by experienced service technicians only.
